Morgan Wallen fans aren’t happy.
the 57th annual CMA Awards recently took place in Nashville, and while Morgan Wallen hit the stage twice to perform “Man Made A Bar,” featuring a surprise appearance from Eric Church, and then again with back-to-back Joe Diffie covers alongside Post Malone & HARDY, he walked away with a big fat goose egg when the night was said and done.
Morgan was nominated in three categories this year, including for Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year, but it was Lainey Wilson who took home the biggest award of the night.
While leading the pack with a whopping 9 nominations and winning five, Lainey beat out Morgan, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood and Luke Combs for Entertainer.
While I’m personally a huge Lainey fan and extremely happy for her success, some fans are wondering if it should’ve been her turn this year. To put it into perspective; not only did Morgan Wallen dominate the charts and earn the highest grossing country tour of the year, but Carrie Underwood still hasn’t won Entertainer, despite being nominated 6 times in previous years.
Regardless, there’s no denying that Lainey has had a MONSTROUS year and it’s incredibly satisfying to see someone of her caliber continuously being recognized. She also won Best Album, Female Vocalist, and two awards for her collaboration with HARDY on “wait in the truck.”
After the award show, Morgan took to his Instagram story with a simple statement to let the fans know he’s doing just fine:
“Walked in tonight a winner, didn’t leave no different.”

Not sure how you could disagree with that. Morgan has had arguably one of the biggest albums in all of music this year, broken record after record, and “Last Night” now holds the title for longest running #1 solo song in Billboard’s Hot 100 chart history. Trust me, he’s doing just fine.

Crushed. He so deserved an award
He is LOOOONNGGGGG over due! Shane on you CMA’s. It’s not fan based!!!! There ya go!!!! Periodt
Classy reaction, a true Prince…
Classy guy! Good for Morgan knowing his worth is not defined by “awards”. Amazing artists like he and Lainey don’t need to be defined by anything other than their talent. Love it for them but they don’t need it – they know.
Amen to that!!
Morgan must be crushed over this but he is showing cma(don’t deserve to be in capital letters) just how much of a winner he really is.Winner in more ways than one.Keep smiling that smile you give so often.
Morgan is doing great without the “good old boy” bunch.
I think it’s a darn shame. I think he should have won an award. But what the heck we all know what he’s worth.
How does someone who hasn’t even had her own concert win those awards? She’s goods, yes but Wallen holds more #1’s than her, headlined his own concert.
Brush it off. CMA board decides early on who’s career they’ll support. We fans have our own ideas.
The cma snubbed a good man trying to do right, not taking anything away from Lainey Wilson but Morgan had just as many tour gigs and more number 1 hits.
He’s one of the best!
Laugh all the way to the bank!
Morgan is an amazing singer and songwriter his time is coming he will dominate the CMA‘s it is a honor being nominated he gave awesome performances one thing for sure always good to have a really big fan base and we fans are always gonna love him and his music whether or not he wins a CMA. Do we wanna see him win? Hell yes this year was it meant for Lainey Wilson we all have to admit miney is one hell of a woman, I’m a big LANY fan if you are a true person music fan we’re happy to see them all win. Morgan is an amazing person and singer Keep making amazing music I’m seeing him in June of next year and believe me I can’t wait
Have to disagree about Lainey. Just not a fan.
I was hoping and was really excited for him then, disappointed as I am sure he felt. But there is next year and like others have said he doesn’t need an award (dust collector). We all know! Aside from that the collaboration with Eric Church was amazing!!! Loved loved loved it!!!
Ya like last year too makes no sense. Who votes for this??? He is awesome.
Your comment is totally spot on!! Plenty of very successful artists have not won that coveted award and they are all fine and still successful.
I think he did better with his speech than the politicians who have their words written for them. He is a winner and doesn’t need CMA to tell him
As I’m reading this. A truck is driving by playing 98 braves by Morgan Wallen. Not Lainey. Just saying. I don’t ever here any anybody say “hey turn up that new Lainey song,” but that’s just me. Good for her. I think Morgan Wallen was the better the pick.
He’s there with some of the best. So you don’t get a darn Award your fans are the ones that you need the love from. One that was snubbed for years was the best of the night. We still go and she still has a huge fan base.
He deserved an award for sure! Who votes on the winners? They must have been deaf or just has a crush on Lainey. She’s good to don’t get me wrong but not that good to take all categories.
Keep going Morgan Wallen, you are entertaining and I love listening to your music.
CMA awards aren’t based on anything other than the personal opinions of a panel of judges who either like you or don’t.
I think it was a joke Morgan Wallen never even sung any of his songs he has had numerous number 1 hits !
He needs some he’s my favorite and he did very good music
How do you get tge name King of Country Music?Have all sold out show across the country.A 36 song album. Multiple number 1 siongs and walk away with nothing.I am.a very ,very big fan of Morgan Wallen.I will defend him till the end..I believe they are still.holding a grudge against from his past.Well the past is the past let it go.He stood up like manand made everything right with what he done.He isn’t the first nor the last to make a mistake.He knows he should have won at least entertainer of the year because he is the best entertainer and has all sold out shows.At the end of the night We all know who is the best and they robbed him of his Awards. POINT BLANK .BABY HANG IN THERE THERE IS MORE CHANCES.Yes you did walk in as a WINNER and walk out as winner.I Love YOU MORGAN❤️
MW is terrible
This was so disappointing. First album I’ve ever listened to where I loved every song on it, and I don’t even listen to country that much. He definitely deserved an award.
Totally agree when she has been an opener for some of the biggest tours that she should win this year.
Everything Morgan Wallen sings ….goes number one! He is awesome performer! He should of won Entertainer of the year! He will always be a winner to his fans!❤️ Always stay true to yourself!
I’m so pissed off at CMA for once again shunning Morgan Wallen. He deserved so many of those awards! I think it’s complete and utter BS how they have been treating Morgan Wallen! I won’t be watching their crappy award shows until they make it right for Morgan Wallen! He is the King of country and should be recognized for his accomplishments!
CMAs have been a home for a long time now. Who gives a fuck! He is awesome!
The CMAs didn’t only snub Morgan. He’s THE talent no doubt!!! THEY SNUBBED MORGANS FANS BECAUSE WE’VE STOOD BY HIM AND THE DESPISE US. Morgan paid the price.
He truly is a Classy Guy‼️ He’s always said “I measure My Success By My Fans”
I’m Definitely One of his #1 FANS
I ADORE HIM❣️
He Absolutely Deserves More Awards than his Gotten but GOD’S Given Him
Fans Like No Other ‼️
Like
He said if the CMA’S “I Walked in here a Winner and I’m Leaving No Different”
I LOVE YOU MORGAN WALLEN❣️❣️
He’s #1 in my book! I have all his albums and play them everyday in my car, and listen to him while getting ready. I love him!! ❣️
This was his year, I was so mad at CMA for once again giving him the snubb. Love Lainey but he has been bc screwed too many times by this woke corporation. Shame on them. We love u Morgan in our eyes u deserved all three.
